Cloud Accounting for SME

Broadcast Date: Tuesday, August 25, 2015 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (ET)

Overview:

Many large corporations, especially in technological industries, have adopted cloud computing to reduce costs and enhance efficiency. Although overlooked, cloud computing increasingly is applicable to and of value for small and medium enterprises (SME) in almost any industry.

With less infrastructure and fewer internal procedures, SMEs are more flexible than larger competitors. As such, cloud computing can help SMEs reduce operating costs, enhance efficiency, ease negotiations, procurement, system deployment, and management of IT systems while and serving customers and collaborating with overseas business partners. However, the critical issue is to identify just how cloud computing can add value for an SME.

Although SME managers regard cloud computing as an innovative concept, they also have concerns about data security in IT, banking, financial services, and insurance. Transferring to the cloud also poses financial and legal risks. The cost of adopting cloud services can be substantial and the legal risks of data loss or theft can have a profound effect on reputation, stability, and viability of small corporations.

In a two hour, LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the significant and latest issues on Cloud Computing for small and medium enterprises. Our panel of speakers will offer advice to improve corporate competitiveness using cloud services while avoiding the related legal and regulatory risks.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Cloud Computing for SMEs
